I thought someone who routinely uses the GTS would possibly have one, and guessed that one of you guys and gals might have come across one...

**SagesStone**

I'll keep an eye out. In a perfect world someone would come across a female one to pass on the ability. There's also an event Porygon going on at the moment with the Dream World. Comes with Analytic of course which some may find interesting. Password for it is pretty easy to find as well and can be found here.

Mine came with the Jolly nature though...

**4oursword**

Shall I get one too? Not been to the dream world in ages

**SagesStone**

I guess it could help with trick room. Not that I know how that really works beyond you going second in most cases due to Porygon's speed.

**KingCracker**

ITs been confirmed that Luigis Mansion as well as Castle Vania Mirrors of Fate WILL be held back until 2013. Im upset. I am REALLY excited about Luigis Mansion, now Ive got to wait till next year. Oh well.

BUT something cool.

In Japan (so really it wouldnt be too hard to get your hands on these) they have released a couple cool things. Firstly

The Mario Brothers Money Banks

And you guessed it, it makes the coin sound.

AND lastly.

If your a MegaMan Fan

But I dont expect to see these anytime soon, because they are around 170 bucks. Ouch.

**4oursword**

Argh, how did this thread go so low? Sad news about Luigi's Mansion, but at least Pikmin 3's still on track.

**CthuluIsSpy**

Any news on Bloodrayne: The Shroud? That was supposed to be in production for the 3ds

**KingCracker**

Well just doing a google search, all Im seeing is year old or more sites about it either coming to the 3DS or being on hold. So I wouldnt hold my breath on that one

**KingCracker**

September 13th Nintendo will announce the release/price/launch titles/and everything else on this date. So a few weeks and we will know all

**4oursword**

Exciting times, hey?

**RossDas**

Prof Layton vs Phoenix Wright almost finished, according to the developer. I hope they release it in Europe and the US; it sounds like a great combination of two quality games.

**SagesStone**

That's been in development for a bit now. I don't doubt we'll see it showing up worldwide.

I also finally got a 3DS earlier this month. I remembered mentioning in passing and got the LoZ one for my birthday. Don't really care the bigger one is going to be out shortly, I like this one more.

**KingCracker**

Im still pretty irritated about how they handled the 3DSXL. What kind of game company doesnt let its buyers know earlier then 1 month before sales? Thats just fething stupid. I bought my midnight purple, because the color is awesome, only to find out a few weeks later they are selling an XL version for only a little more money.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh well, I still want Super Mario Brothers 2

**SagesStone**

I think we all know another company that sees how far back it can push its two weeks.

I'm interested in how pokemon will turn out on the 3DS, would probably be the one after the new ones out in a couple of months hopefully.

**Iur_tae_mont**

I think it'll prolly be gen 6 before pokemon is just for the 3ds.

So after B2/W2 and the Hoenn remakes, assuming they do those.

**SagesStone**

Not sure why they'd make Hoen.. wait money.

They just sort of feel a touch too new still for it.

**Iur_tae_mont**

Not really that new. Gen 3 have been out for about 10 years. All of the remakes, except Kanto, came out 10 years and two generations after the originals.

The only reason Kanto came out as early as it did was the first two generations were only three games long.

ALSO! September 1 through I think september 30, Keledo will be released in the US at gamestop.

**SagesStone**

So strangely faith in humanity slightly restored. Been throwing up female Riolus on the GTS for a female Glaceon for a while hoping to finally get a decent one I could train up or something; saves some time.

Finally got one (well a decent one have a few sitting around now), level 2, Ice Body. Which if I remember right means I can now breed myself stuff like Magic Guard Espeon I think. They even threw a Razz berry on it.

**4oursword**

That's always good! Not been on the gts for a while now, might just go on now

**SagesStone**

It's still filled with the crappy offers for a lvl 9 Zekrom like it probably always has been.

**KingCracker**

I havnt bothered buying a Pokemon game in years. The way I see it, if I could play a game like Customrobo2000 on a ds, then Pokemon games have no excuse not to pump up the graphics and such. Im going to wait until they finally dont look like FF3 on Super Nintendo. Dont get me wrong, FF on SuperNintendo is where its at, but that was how many decades ago?

**SagesStone**

That's sort of what I was hoping they'd do for the 3DS gen when they finally get to it. I usually have the 3D turned off anyway.

At the moment we just have their sort of blocky sprites jumping around all the time during battle like a hyped up kid. What we're getting the next is their trainers will also move for the 5 seconds they're actually shown at the start and maybe the end.

**Iur_tae_mont**

I look at Pokemon similar to 40k.

Sure you can just pick the moves roll dice, but it's a hell of a lot more interesting to pretend what's going on.

Prolly why the graphics never bother me. But that's only for the handheld games. Any home console better have crazy awesome graphics(for the time)

**KingCracker**

I dont want to sound like a graphics whore, because one of my all time fav games is still Morrowind and I still play it and the graphics dont bother me what so ever. BUT, I own a 3DS, Ive played resident evil on it, so I expect Nintendo 3DS worthy graphics on the fether, not something my Super Nintendo can push

I'm a huge graphics whore, I just give pokemon a slide is all.

ahem. GW? :p

Looking forward to the WiiU.. Has there been any mention of what the prices might be like?

**KingCracker**

Yea, but at least with GW we usually get leaks of some impressively good proof most times. Nintendo is pretty much nothing until its them announcing it.

As for the WiiU price, its widely speculated to be $300ish. So if it is, thats a really solid price I think, and should help to give Nintendo the edge at the start. If so, I hope they keep the momentum up, because Ill be pissed if a year after I buy mine, Ive still got the same 5 games IVe had for nearly the same time

Could you lot imagine Pokemon on the WiiU?!?! *drools*

**SagesStone**

Yeah, like using the GBA as a controller for the gamecube ones having all the attacks and such on that touch screen instead.

**4oursword**

Most of the games magazines were after the touchscreen acting as a permanent PC. Can you imagine? That would be terrible. You can use PCs to heal, and it would defeat the point of the six-strong party.

It'll be good, but nothing revolutionary. That's how Nintendo works.

They need to do a smartphone...
